I mean, it is a PG heavy draft - Cole, Nico, Killian, Theo, Ball, Maxey, etc. Then you can add Ant as a combo G.
If the Knicks fall to 3, as of now, I'd heavily consider Isaac Okoro - I buy the shot and he'd be a great fit next to RJ and Frank on the wing.
Knox shouldn't be considered part of the core, IMO, and should be available for a first round pick...which might be difficult, because I know prevailing thoughts around the league are not very good surrounding Knox and his potential / future.
That's being trigger happy and short-sighted. Two traits that the Knicks have had for years.
Knox is DEFINATELY a core piece. He's a mere 20years old and has a strong man child body already.
Knox is obviously getting better at decision making as the game is decisively slowing own for him. Kevin's jumper is butter and significantly more accurate than last year. By age 22 Kevin Knox will be a bonifide 4 spot monster.
And you want to trade this? For what again?
I'm against being short sighted as well, but Knox isn't all that. He has major defensive issues, isn't a playmaker, and is a poor version of a combo F because he's not long, strong, or physical enough for the 4 and isn't quick enough on defense to be a 3 (and lol at Fiz trying him at the 2 - watching him get burned by guys off screens is disgusting to watch).
He's not strong, though - not sure where that's coming from, nor has he ever played physically (this going back to HS). It's cool if we disagree, I'm simply willing to trade someone with a limited ceiling for another first round pick - the issue with what I want is I know teams aren't high on him due to his major finishing issues (23% around the rim in the HC, which is 1st percentile in Synergy lol), not a playmaker, poor defender, and the shooting is nowhere near good enough to negate the negative parts of his game. He's young, yes, but these are issues that have always been there.
Ding ding ding. This is the correct answer.
